The impact of Earned Value analysis in managing project cost control is undeniable. When EVM is implemented on a project, there are significant benefits to the project manager and the customer. Project manager benefits include increased visibility and control to proactively respond to issues that can impact project schedule, cost and objectives. Customer benefits include increase confidence in the PM’s ability to manage the project and track the progress of their project. Additionally, EVM provides a wealth of information for accountants. Accountants can use the data to report profitability to the investment community (Wilkens, 1991). There is a true connection between project management and corporate accounting. PMs use data provided by finance departments as inputs to determine cost performance of projects via EVM. This includes information used to create financial statements such as the cash flow statement, used to track the actual cash in hand. Said financial statements are to be crafted in compliance with the U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). GAAP impacts every item on a qualifying financial statement. GAAP guidelines dictates how financial statements are produced every step of the way, covering hundreds of different components, according to Stanford University’s Cardinal Money Management website (Gresham, 2012). GAAP encompasses basic accounting principles and guidelines and detailed standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board

The reason parents read fairytales to their children is not for the sheer purpose of entertainment (or to get them to just fall asleep already), nor is it to install false hope. These improbable stories are didactic. Parents recite these tales in the hopes of inspiring their children and teaching them a life lesson. If the girl who was deprived of her father, was treated as a maid, and was verbally abused by her stepmother can get the prince, anyone can preserve through the obstacles of life. Making the Case has the same purpose, however this story is not a fake. TS Kimberly Guilfoyle’s style utilizes powerful anecdotes in Making the Case to successfully explain her life, teach life lessons, and inspire the reader.

For this model, nurses, social workers, and other disciplines can work as case managers. However, in this article, I will focus on the nurse care case managers. In the Nursing case management model, all patients are assigned to a nurse case manager. For example, all the pediatric patients are assigned to
